Since he ascended the throne as emperor, Zhou Jun moved out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and lived in the Liangcheng Palace.
Most of the people in the original mansion have moved into the palace, with only one exception.
That person is the imperial concubine Yang Yuhuan.
It is recalled that Nanlu was the residence of the imperial concubine. After people left, it underwent several additions and has now become a huge garden.
As the queen, Yin Yu was worried that Yang Yuhuan would have no one to accompany her after she left, so she specially selected many musicians from the royal troupe and came to Yinan Luzhong every day to study music and choreograph dances.
On this day, Yang Yuhuan led a group of musicians to choreograph the latest opera and dance by the lakeside of Yinanlu.
A breeze blew from the inner lake, gently blowing over Yang Yuhuan's sleeves, making her look like a fairy, almost wanting to ride the wind back home.
Listening to the music, Yang Yuhuan held the gongchi score in one hand and beat time with the other. A maid came from a distance and announced: "The Queen is here."
Yang Yuhuan stretched out her hand to stop her dancing and looked not far away.
Yin Yu, dressed in palace attire, was walking slowly towards the lake, accompanied by the chamberlain and female officials.
Yang Yuhuan said that he dismissed the musicians and musicians, leaving Xu Hezi, the general of the Liyuan Music Camp, alone.
When Yin Yu came to the front, Yang Yuhuan stooped and wanted to salute.
Yin Yu took a step forward, supported Yang Yuhuan, and said: "My wife and I are like sisters, what are these false etiquettes for him?"
Yang Yuhuan smiled: "Now that you have become a queen, you must be polite in everything you do. You cannot be as willful as before."
Yin Yu didn't speak, just sighed quietly.
Yang Yuhuan saw Yin Yu frowning and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? But there is something going on in the palace?"
Yin Yu shook his head first, and then said hesitantly: "The palace is full of oppression, but I still like to go out for a walk."
Yang Yuhuan looked at Yin Yu's expression carefully, stretched out his hand to hold the latter, walked a few steps in, and asked after staying away from the crowd: "What happened?"
Yin Yu lowered his head and said: "During these days in the palace, I have nightmares every night."
Yang Yuhuan: "Nightmare?"
Yin Yu: "Yes, I dreamed that there was a lot of blood, many people died, and there were cries and shouts everywhere."
Yang Yuhuan thought for a moment and asked softly: "Is it because of the arson case?"
Yin Yu was silent for a moment and then said: "There used to be many people living inside and outside the Liangcheng Palace. Now the houses are empty and those people are gone... When I live there, I always feel like there is a dark wind behind me."
Yang Yuhuan knew in his heart that Yin Yu did not know the truth behind the arson case, otherwise he would be even more depressed and depressed.
Leading Yin Yu to sit in the pavilion, Yang Yuhuan said, "How has your Majesty been treating you recently?"
Yin Yu: "Erlang treats me very well, but for some reason, I always feel a little strange when I see him, but I don't understand him as well as I did before."
Yang Yuhuan: "Are you worried that His Majesty will alienate you?"
Yin Yu: "I...I don't know."
Yang Yuhuan raised his head and looked into the distance and said: "If your Majesty had wanted to betray you, he would not have made you the queen, let alone made Xiao'er the prince. No matter what the outside world says, Zhou Erlang is still the same Zhou Erlang. Don't ask for more.
think."
Yin Yu said softly: "I hope so."
Seeing that Yin Yu was not very interested, Yang Yuhuan turned to Xu Hezi who was not far away and said, "Get the music score and the playbook."
Xu Hezi nodded, then took a stack of music scores and playbooks and placed them on the stone table of the pavilion.
Yang Yuhuan picked one of them and said to Yin Yu: "The storybook Nie Yinniang has been serialized. Recently, I and the Liyuan Opera Troupe are arranging this opera. Now it is mostly completed. Take a look."
Yin Yu picked up the storybook, flipped through it, and said with emotion: "Nie Yinniang finally killed her enemy and helped justice. This story can be said to be a happy one for everyone."
Yang Yuhuan: "These words were originally written by His Majesty, but now they have reached their finale and are being circulated everywhere in the market."
Yin Yu: "Yes, I heard that Nie Yinniang has become the favorite character of the people. People say that there are heroes among women, and women are not inferior to men."
Yang Yuhuan: "I also heard that the "Datang Wenbao" serialized by Nie Yinniang was founded by the Xuanwen Hall. And the Xuanwen Hall is now being expanded in the Shangshu Province in the imperial city. There are even rumors that the Xuanwen Hall
The museum is planned to be built as a separate part in addition to the six parts.”
Yin Yu: "The eunuch of the Xuanwen Hall is Fan Jinian, the chamberlain's constant servant, and the deputy eunuch is Xie Qin, who has just entered the palace to serve as Jieyu. I heard that because the latter is pregnant, Erlang has ordered her to rest in the palace and unload the Xuanwen Palace.
An errand for the library."
When Yang Yuhuan heard this, he nodded lightly and said nothing.
Yin Yu looked down at the music score Xu Hezi had brought, took out a book from it, hummed slowly along with it for a while, and asked with some surprise: "I have heard this piece in the palace."
Xu Hezi took a look and said respectfully: "Back to the Queen, this score is called "Hundred People's Song"."
Yin Yu: "Hundred People's Song, Hundred People's Song... Your Majesty turned over the token of this song several times during the palace banquet. Do you know what this song says?"
Xu Hezi: "The song of hundreds of people is a slang song from the slave's hometown. The meaning of the song is that a hundred birds are paying homage to the phoenix. Before the slave entered the palace, he sang it many times in the market. After entering the palace, he seldom sang it."
Yang Yuhuan listened on the side and said, "Maybe your Majesty heard it somewhere before and thought it sounded good, so he remembered it."
Yin Yu heard this, thoughtfully, and slowly put down the score of "Hundred People's Song".
After a while, Yin Yu stopped thinking about the matter and turned to Yang Yuhuan and asked: "Ms. Yuhuan, are you willing to follow me back to the palace?"
Yang Yuhuan was stunned when he heard this, and asked stiffly: "Go back to the palace?"
Yin Yu: "Since I became the queen, I have no friends in the palace, and I don't even have anyone to talk to... Moreover, the Liangcheng Palace is deep and secluded, and it is cold every night. If this continues, I feel that I am about to die.
crazy."
Yang Yuhuan: "I can go to the palace to visit you."
Yin Yu: "How about I tell Erlang to prepare a side courtyard in the palace, and the lady can move here?"
Yang Yuhuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If I go to live in the palace, what does that mean? If the outside world hears it, I'm afraid I will never have the face to see anyone again."
Seeing Yang Yuhuan's firm attitude, Yin Yu felt painful in her heart, her eyes were a little red, and her body was trembling a little.
When Yang Yuhuan saw this, he couldn't bear it, but he still refused to let go.
Xu Hezi, who remained silent on the side, suddenly said: "If the empress wants to live in the palace, she actually has legitimate reasons."
Hearing this, Yin Yu looked at Xu Hezi and asked, "What's the reason?"
Xu Hezi: "The Xuanwen Hall was moved into the imperial city. The "Wenbao of the Tang Dynasty" was originally in charge of Xie Jieyu. Now that she is pregnant, the chief official of the Wenbao is temporarily unemployed. The imperial concubine is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
I also love dramas and poetry, so if I apply for the position of chief newspaper officer, wouldn’t I be able to move into the palace smoothly?”
Yin Yu's eyes lit up and she said: "Yes, the supervisor of Xuanwen Hall is Fan Jinian and the deputy supervisor is Xie Jieyu. Both of them obey my orders. As long as Lady Yuhuan is willing, I will go and ask your majesty to let him move you."
Served as newspaper editor."
Yang Yuhuan was a little moved when he heard that he could enter the palace to compile newspapers and newspapers, but when he thought of Zhou Jun, he hesitated for no reason.
Yin Yu: "Mrs. Yuhuan is in her prime, how can she be willing to grow old here in Yinanlu? Why not apply to your majesty to be in charge of literary and newspaper affairs, so as to teach the men in the world that essays are good at music and rhythm. Men in the world should know that women are good at it.
There is also a leader among them, and that person’s name is Yang Yuhuan.”
Yang Yuhuan thought about it and finally made up his mind and said, "If your Majesty agrees, I will give it a try."
